===What do I need to include in my news articles?=== | |||
A basic rule to remember is "Five W's and an H": what, where, when, why, who, and how. Use the first few paragraphs to give the main facts, before providing extra detail. | |||
Please try and include relevant pictures. If you do not have a picture for your news story, you may be able to find one on [[a:Main Page|the Archives]]. | |||
You should always include a source for your news story. This is not necessarily where you heard about it from - if you got it from another fan site, work out where they got the information from. This prevents inaccuracies as news passes from distributor to distributor - like a game of Chinese whispers. | |||
